About This Book

The essays present a forceful Christian and Catholic apologetic applied to contemporary social and cultural issues, combining personal recollection, historical allusion, and polemical argument. Topics include concerns about falling birth rates and national decline, critiques of modern sport and urban vagrancy, debates in academic and literary circles, and anxieties over foreign influence. The author advocates moral renewal grounded in faith and urges practical as well as spiritual responses to perceived threats. A final essay collects correspondence that illustrates public reactions to the author's views.
